Online process isn't great

The car insurance is absolutely fine, I made a change, which was dealt with efficiently, but the payment process was poor. I updated my credit card details on the online system the day before renewal payment was due to be taken (my card had been replaced due to fraud) but RAC still went to get payment from the old card, which of course failed, and then tried to charge me £20 for their mistake! I brought it to their attention, they made it a complaint so they could deal with it, saw that I had changed the card on the system when I said I had, refunded the £20 and confirmed payment on my new card for renewal. That would have been a 4* review but then a week later I get a letter saying payment had failed - I went online to check, all was good and the letter was obviously system generated from the first payment failure. Very irritating.

Hello Debbie,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback.

We're pleased to hear that your policy change was handled efficiently, but we're sorry for the frustration caused by the payment issues and the follow-up letter you received.

We understand how concerning it must have been to see a failed payment notice after you had already updated your card details and resolved the issue with our team. We're glad our complaints team was able to investigate, refund the charge, and confirm your renewal payment, but we appreciate that the additional communication afterwards was frustrating and did not provide the smooth experience you should expect.

Your feedback has been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams to help us improve our processes. Thank you for your continued custom and for bringing this matter to our attention.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with your insurance, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Thanks Laura

Truly Conned

We were quoted £400 pounds for our Mini Cooper Paceman then suddenly it changed to over _£800 pounds we were told this was an admin error on our first price so once the policy run,s out next year I will be finding another company we are also member,s of the rac but that makes no difference at 74 year,s old I will not be conned again the same amount of policy with Tesco would have been less than£300 .Mr M J Wharton

Hello Michael,

We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must have been for your quoted premium to change due to an administrative error.

We'd really appreciate the opportunity to look into this further and understand what went wrong We will be in touch shortly.
